All right, let's see who..........oh. Funny meeting you here.

[vapour]

Oh, charming company this evening, I see.

1/2

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Flatterer.

[gottalearntoplayitright]

[Makes a mad dash for the input screen]

1/2

[vapour]

[ oh wow, that's fast— ]

[vapour]

[ WATER TENDRIL LASHING OUT TO GRAB HIM BY THE ANKLE AND YANK HIM INTO THE AIR UPSIDE DOWN. ]

Sneaky.

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Can't blame a guy for trying.

[vapour]

[ water tendril sets him down in a seat. ]

Self-sacrifice and going too hard are super unattractive here, you know.

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Even I have my unappealing moments.

[Waits until the tendril sets him down before dropping through a portal in the seat and getting dropped back out infront of the input screen]

[vapour]

This is taking the cake.

[ Sam's getting up to go after him, although he will probably have time to at least put in his name and maybe the captcha for the first part. ]

You wanna win that bad?

[ just grabbing him by the wrist one he gets there so he can't input anything further than he got already for the moment. ]

At least stop and think for a minute.

[gottalearntoplayitright]

[Frowns when he's stopped mid entry]

Think about what exactly?

[vapour]

...? About what you're doing? You can't have thought this through that well and made sure your doing the most efficient thing.

[gottalearntoplayitright]

There was a potential win for quickest entry, which that window is probably closed now. That said, I really doubt our 'permanence' is our immortality. Wouldn't make for a very good performance if they killed off several of the cast members. They didn't bring us onto this boat to just kill us and have us stay dead.

[vapour]

I'm now sure you're gonna try something stupid like this in all instances you get stuck with people that you're protective of, especially if they've already shown they have a "it's okay if I eat shit" mentality.

Therefore, you'll have had plenty of opportunity to try for quickest win in one of those once you remember them all.

[gottalearntoplayitright]

As if you weren’t going to try the same thing.

[vapour]

Oh please, that's like saying I was gonna run off if you didn't do it first that time.

Do I look like I wanna listen to you for the rest of this ride if I pulled a fast one you like that?

[gottalearntoplayitright]

You know what, I'm starting to think you would have. I can't go back in time and prove it, but I wouldn't be surprised.

[vapour]

Sounds like a "you" problem~.

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Woke up on the extra bratty side of the bed today, I see.

[vapour]

You need to think things through more. Every time we have performances like this where it's only a few people in the situation, there's always people that report going through several iterations and they usually feel the effects from each across the board.

The Permanence option may not be death for real, but think about how many people on this ship you're willing to take that severe punishment for and you could be seeing yourself in for a world of hurt.

[gottalearntoplayitright]

And if the losers get a terrible punishment? Won't I regret not trying harder?

[vapour]

Isn't that why it's worth thinking about it for a moment, at least? Because what you're saying is you'll go for Permanence every time no matter how many iterations you get or with whom. It'll hurt less for you maybe, but what about how it'll feel for Jem and Rose?

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Isn't that a bit of a low blow? Pulling the Jem and Rose cards?

[vapour]

You bet it is.

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Can you honestly say had this room been with anyone else that you wouldn’t have gone straight for the seven?
